Madonna in Malawi, Part Deux
Yes, that’s right. The so-called Material Girl is in Malawi to adopt another baby. This time it’s a girl named Mercy, and she’s from the same orphanage as Madonna’s adopted son, David Banda. The first adoption caused a firestorm in Malawi, as the Monitor reported back in Oct. 2006. From the moment Madonna’s private jet landed in Lilongwe, Malawi’s capital, earlier this month and departed last Friday, the southern African country has become divided over whether her adoption of a 13-month-old boy named David is in the child’s best interests and whether the singer received special treatment by the government’s adoption authorities. “Malawi’s regulations stipulate that prospective parents undergo an 18-to-24-month assessment period in the country, a rule bent when Madonna was allowed to take David to London,” the Monitor explained in a follow-up story.
